New York’s Staten Island — At the U.S. Coast Guard Sector New York, President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will have a Friendsgiving dinner with service men and their families on Monday in Fort Wadsworth.

The hundreds of metal NYPD barricades that were up on both sides of Capodanno Boulevard on Sunday and the signs on utility poles warning locals that parking was prohibited in numerous areas on Sunday and Monday are obvious indications of the Bidens’ impending arrival.

During the president and his wife’s visit to the borough on Monday evening, Father Capodanno Boulevard will be closed for many hours, resulting in traffic closures, detours, and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness a motorcade ride.

  • Next, the president and first lady plan to land in Miller Field, New Dorp by 5:30 p.m.

  • The Bidens will then proceed via motorcade to Fort Wadsworth to deliver remarks and serve food at a Friendsgiving event at

    U.S. Coast Guard Sector New York at the base.


  • By 7:50 p.m. the Bidens are expected to return to Miller Field to depart Staten Island and head back to Joint Base Andrews in Prince George s County, Md.
